Welcome to Verve's October Diva Inspirations Hop. It's the 5th of the month and that means it's time for the Divas to serve up some fresh inspiration with their Verve stamps! Leave some comment love along the hop spots for a chance to win a prize, then grab some stamps and play along with our October inspiration challenge for another chance to win!
This month's challenge is entitled Fall Fancy:
The
air is crisp and the colors are warm – celebrate fall with a
spook-tacular creation or a thoughtful thank you using Fall as your
inspiration!
For my card today, I used one of my all time favorite stamp sets: Up, Up and Away! I love the amazing hot air balloons and the sweet little tree in this set! I created a fall inspired thank you card and created grass from one of the stamps and then sponged a cloud using a metal stencil border that has clouds that I got for free at a make and take at CHA several years ago. I loved getting whimsy with this sweet stamp set - here is my card for this Fall Fancy Challenge:

Card Ingredients:
Stamp sets: Up, Up and Away stamp set and Tag Time stamp set from Verve Stamps
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black, Rose Red, Bamboo Leaves and Canteloupe inks
Papers: Kraft paper, Choice white from TE
Accessories: Award Banner Trim die from Verve Stamps, Grass Punch from Martha Stewart, stickles, foam dimensionals, corner chomper
I used the sentiment from the Tag Time stamp setand adhered it to one of the hot air balloons. One of my most favorite things to do in the fall is to walk in the park and enjoy the fall colors - andI tried to give the fall colors to the trees in the Up, Up and Away stamp set with some copics and stickles. I also added a little trim using the Award Banner Trim die from Verve Stamps. I love this stamp set - just makes me both want to get on a hot air balloon but also makes me want to be outside and explore! Speaking of exploration - there are a bunch of cards created with the fall fancy theme - please jump over and check them out!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hugs,
Sankari :)

Love your colorful and fanciful design. Edging the balloons with ink gave them a great contoured look. Love the jewels you added. The background stamping and all your coloring. Everything is top notch.
Sankari, I love that you used your favorite set. I find when I pick up a favorite, all things go well with the card. Yours is no exception. Those hot air balloons are wonderful and the whole scene came together perfectly! Lots to love here! Thanks for the inspiration!
